State Duma deputy Mikhail Matveev appealed to the Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin with a proposal to ban irrevocable tickets.
According to the deputy, aboutThe TS of at least symbolic compensation for the return of the ticket leads to the fact that people who refuse the flight do not inform the airline about this and the ticket simply “disappears”.
“At the same time, a situation arises when, in fact, on almost every flight, including super -willed, there are several empty seats, and people cannot fly away on it because“ there are no tickets ”. This is absurd. Moreover, the irrevocable tariff in fact is one of the most massive. I am convinced that if at least 300-500 rubles could be obtained for returning the ticket., Not to mention 1 thousand, most would have handed them over to them if necessary and these seats would again appear on sale, ”said Mikhail Matveev.

“Perhaps this problem does not care about the air carriers. The chair was bought, while empty flies, less weight. However, for them, the actual opportunity to sell this chair twice, returning a small amount to the passenger to the passenger, also increases the income, ”Matveev’s appeal said.
In November 2024, Senator Ayrat Gibatdinov invited the Ministry of Transport to ban overbooking – a situation in which the company sells more tickets than places in the cabin. In May 2025, the ministry admitted that it would be allowed only on flights flying at least twice a day.
